Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation provides both Linux (Bash/Python) and Windows (PowerShell) examples for configuring custom metrics and application health extension responses. However, there are several instances where Windows/PowerShell examples are presented before Linux/Bash equivalents, and PowerShell is given equal or greater prominence. The REST and Azure CLI examples are platform-neutral, but the PowerShell sections are detailed and appear before Bash in some places. The documentation also uses Windows-centric extension names (e.g., ApplicationHealthWindows) in some sample code, though Linux equivalents are mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux/Bash examples before Windows/PowerShell examples, or alternate their order for parity.
  • Ensure that both ApplicationHealthLinux and ApplicationHealthWindows are equally referenced in sample code and explanations.
  • Clarify in sample code comments which extension type to use for Linux vs. Windows VMSS instances.
  • Expand Bash/Python examples to match the detail level of PowerShell examples.
  • Add explicit notes for macOS users where Bash/Python examples are applicable.
